Our Mission
Creating a seamless rental management.
KC Destination Management is a vacation rental co-hosting and management company. We use the term co-host because we take care of your property with the same attention we would our own home. We do more than simply manage turnovers, we make sure your home maintains its condition and is personalized for guests.
Our mission is to ensure that rental guests have a stress-free stay at your property and that owners increase rentals and positive reviews. We do this by managing everything from cleaning services and repairs to being on-call to answer questions or troubleshoot issues that guests may experience. We manage Air BnB listing via Host Sharing capabilities.
In addition, we take care of all the "little things" that make a stay at your property extra special. This includes making sure there is coffee or water available to guests, local destination information, and a welcome basket to make your guests feel like they are the first people ever staying at the property. We also help guests with directions, check-in/out, and check in with them during their stay.
Our pricing model allows us to be as "hands-on" or "hands-off" as you would like. We can manage your listing, booking communication, guest personalization, and home turnover. Alternatively, you can take care of the things you want and we will take care of the rest!
Based on our market research, guests review their stay based on cleanliness, host responsiveness, amenities, and personalization.
